GSP with a Sea Hare?

Hello all
I was just wondering has anyone kept a sea hare with a GSP? They seem to be the best for hair algea, but i'm a bit concerned it may get eaten.
Cheers

It's a giant, squishy invert- almost certainly lunch. My GSPs even managed to take down a turbo snail in time.

Perhaps it is toxic enough to repel a puffer. However, two things come to my mind - 1) Puffers get their own toxins through inverts they eat. I see no reason why the sea hare would not end up as a way to increase the puffers own toxin storage, rather than a deterrent. 2) it likely gets that toxin from something it eats, so it's highly unlikely to be toxic after a season on the home aquarium.
